Question 208: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if she will report on the operation of a facility (details supplied) in County Cork; if the funding to the hospital is controlled by the Health Service Executive; if further redundancies will be sought; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I understand that the facility the Deputy is referring to is a voluntary provider of residential care in Cork that receives funding from the Health Service Executive under Section 39 of the Health Act, 2004. Section 39 allows the HSE to give assistance to any person or body that provides or proposes to provide a similar or ancillary service to the service the Executive may provide. While it receives funding from the HSE, direct responsibility for the terms and conditions of employment is a matter solely for the employer.
